last year, i was in japan for the first time and although i did a lot of browsing, apparently it's not enough. so this year when i went back, i buy some more. when i first got there, i didn't bring enough skincare with me, so when i saw this travel set at family mart, i grabbed it. actually, it will make good travel set or trial set since it had everything that you'll need.
the hada labo gokujyun skin care set consists of cleansing oil (30 ml), cleansing foam (20 g), skin lotion (20 ml), milky lotion (20 ml). there's also a sheet mask included in this travel set.
i can't find the complete description, so i have to search one by one.
the description of the cleansing oil: formulated with high purity olive oil to deep clean and gently remove dirt, excessive oil and stubborn makeup instantly, high cleaning ability even for water-proof mascara, gentle to your delicate eye area and eye lashes, enhanced with super hyaluronic acid to intensely hydrate and maintain skin's moisture balance leaving skin feeling soft & smooth, it is water-soluble, does not leave unpleasant greasy feeling.
the description of the cleansing foam: preserve your skin's natural moisture as you wash. a small amount works up into a rich, foaming lather, then rinses clean - without drying out your skin.
description of super hyaluronic acid lotion: instantly hydrate your skin. it should be used after washing with hada labo gokujyun face wash and serves as the foundation to your moisturizing routine. while it looks clear like a toner or makeup remover, it's actually a moisturizer that helps prepare your skin for better absorption of their hada labo products. in fact, the hada labo gokujyun clear lotion can be used as a standalone moisturizer. or, if you feel your skin needs additional moisture after it has absorbed the hada labo gokujyun clear lotion, follow it with the hada labo gokujyun serum, hada labo gokujyun milk, or hada labo gokujyun cream - or a combination of all three, depending on the level of your moisturizing needs.
the description of the hydrating milk: moisturizes deeply, offering nourishing hydration and skin-smoothing conditioners. infuses your skin with moisture and leaves it with a natural, healthy looking glow. skin becomes smoother, softer and richly hydrated.

the packaging: this travel set comes in a plastic zip bag with the hada labo label in the middle front. all the bottles and tube neatly arranged inside with the mask taped at the back of the bag (i found it but i will review it separately). i like how they placed everything in a bag, it's so practical that i always reach this whenever i need to travel or for short stay, like my post partum stay at the hospital, or a night off at my parents.

the product and result:
-cleansing oil: it comes in tall bottle with regular opening. the bottle has the same yellow label as the regular bottle size. the oil is clear just like the full size one, and it's quite runny. i think it has the same consistency as kose speedy cleansing oil, but sometimes i think it's slightly runnier. it is scentless so i think it will suitable for sensitive skin. its cleansing power is okay, i can't say for sure since usually i don't use full makeup on my holiday. i usually use bb cream, eyeliner, blush and lipstick, and sometimes mascara, and the cleansing oil did okay for removing all of them. and sunscreen too. i don't get any breakouts for using this oil. it emulsifies just well and it doesn't leave greasy feeling.

-cleansing foam: it comes in a mini tube with screw cap. the design is exact copy of its full size version. honestly, i just hope it comes with flip top, since it's so small, sometimes i drop it and have difficulty to pick it up again. and since i have to share this foam with my husband too, it doesn't last long. in fact, it's the first item to finish from this set. the rest of my feeling about this foam is already on my other post.

-lotion: it comes in a mini bottle with the opening similar to the cleansing oil. it also have the same design as the full size version one. it has the same feeling as the full size one. one thing though, it's too small, this is the third one to finish after the foam and the milk. no wonder since usually after flight my skin will be dehydrated, so this lotion comes to rescue.

-milk: the japanese like simple steps. they usually don't use serum or essence and just put milk as moisturizer after lotion. the milk comes in a mini bottle with screw cap similar to the lotion one. the difference is just on the label. the milk one comes in pink label and from outside you can see the difference with the lotion one since the lotion is clear and the milk is cloudy white. it has the same consistency as emulsion. it spreads over my skin easily and absorbed easily too. it's scentless too. unfortunately, it doesn't give hydration that my skin's needed. when i use this alone without any serum or essence, my skin gets oilier especially on my t-zone like the way it used to be. on my last holiday, i ditched the milk especially since it's running out anyway, and i brought my usual emulsion and night cream, and i didn't experience the greasiness anymore.

honestly, i like the travel set as a whole. it simplifies my skincare on the go. whenever i need to go for short period like holiday or a few night staycation, i will take this set with me. although the milk is not hydrating enough for me, i finished it anyway and i can replaced it with two small pots of emulsion and night cream. if you like travelling a lot and doesn't like packing your whole skincare into small pots and jars, then try this set. or if you want to try hada labo products and want to try the entire series without having to buy the full size one, then try this one too. this might give you the idea about the whole range without having to buy and finish the full size set. it's much cheaper and quicker too. i think it will be suitable for normal skin, although combination skin might try this too. i think it won't be enough for dry skin since the milk is not enough even for me.
